Update: I was unfortunately not aware of Shamus Young's severe criticism of Fallout 3 available here to link in the original piece and I regret that. It dovetails rather nicely with what I've written and it's much better executed than my piece. I strongly recommend anyone...

For those of you who know him, Festival Temple will be running Klonoa 2 100% Popkaless. It is scheduled for late night (1:20 a.m. EST) Thursday/Friday. If I can swing it, I may be providing co-commentary, which basically means making stupid sounds, dupa-dipas, and asking what just happened there for two and a half hours. How could you not?_________________I sprinkle sand into the waters of night. The grains burn as they fall, reminding me of another in times long passed away. I watched him even then as he fell, his face undefeated, his eyes still proud.

I knows he does speedruns of that game, but I never saw what he looked like. Is it like GDQ where they film theimselves as well? I guess I would have to ask him, but he never shows up in chat anymore. He's too cool for GR. I also need to ask him how to set up the timer for strreams. I think he's using WSplit or Livesplit? Dammit, Festival! Get over here

I know, right? It's going to have a bit of a different feel from GDQ events.

He shows up in chat from time to time, but doesn't stay, and doesn't talk. LIKE MOST OF GR.

You're making me feel bad because I'm forgetting his setup. I'll direct him to this thead tonight so he can all of your fan questions. He'll be back in like... I dunno. 6-8 hours or something.

The stream will be set up like his twitch usually is; SRC will simply be re-streaming his twitch stream as they add their own marathon info and whatnot. Doubt there'll be cam action going on (although I encourage you to bother him about regularly having a hand cam).

EDIT (because everyone else is): As he's doing it through twitch, it'll be preserved there for the viewing at later dates. I'll make sure he's aware that you'll want to watch it after the fact. Not sure what SRC does on their side for post-event viewing._________________I sprinkle sand into the waters of night. The grains burn as they fall, reminding me of another in times long passed away.

I use Amarec 3.0 to deinterlace (it still seems to have a few weird audio problems now and then though), and I capture that with OBS. I switched to Livesplit a while ago because there's more customization.

If anybody wants to co-commentate I can get you in on the mumble. I've been practicing for the past few days. When lots of people are watching my hands start shaking, so I'm worried about getting too nervous.

I believe they'll be posting the finished videos to youtube once it's all over, so don't worry about totally missing it.

MattAY, the run will last at least two hours (sub 2:10 hype!), so maybe you can catch the end of it? Not sure if that's too early or too late. ;P_________________I sprinkle sand into the waters of night. The grains burn as they fall, reminding me of another in times long passed away.

So, the person who was on the stream at the time accidentally let slip the super special access codes to the vault of infinity, and the stream was hijacked.

In the end, SRC's channel was deleted/deactivated, and I'm waiting to hear further word. I'm limited in my resources while at work, so I'm not sure I'll be able to find out anything useful.

This may mean that Festy's run won't happen. It's scheduled for tonight, but obviously not if the stream isn't up. No word on whether they would be continuing with the schedule as is and skipping the runs scheduled during the down time, or if they will adjust the schedule and push everything ahead.

I have my own thoughts on what to do, but I'm just an observer. We'll see what happens... I'm really disappointed that people out there would jack a stream fundraising for charity. Ridiculous._________________I sprinkle sand into the waters of night. The grains burn as they fall, reminding me of another in times long passed away.

It kind of looks like they're continuing where they left off, but also some changes had to be made... Festy should be around in time to keep his originally scheduled slot, so hopefully that'll go forward. Verified that I'll be attempting to co-commentate. _________________I sprinkle sand into the waters of night. The grains burn as they fall, reminding me of another in times long passed away.

I really wished I could watch this, just for the co-commentary. I remember doing that with that obscure game Festy was playing, but I'm curious how Sightless (and others) will be able to watch and comment without delay._________________

Well, that was a bit hasty in calling it the world record. >___> He's still the record holder, but the run he did that gave him that was a recording that's non-continuous, so not verifiable I suppose you could say. This one is obviously continuous and with witnesses, and I think was about 40 seconds off?

I'm really glad you could make an appearance, MattAY! It's nice to see familiar faces. The chat overall was pretty welcoming and a good group, and the host was a good guy.

There were a lot of small things that went wrong in the run, but it was so much fun. Wish I had better things to say -- I felt like I was less useful as a commentator most of the time. Being moral support is okay though.

Not sure when they post vids to yt, but I've seen a few go up on a reddit thread somewhere..._________________I sprinkle sand into the waters of night.
